In OE, under Tools | Options | Maintenance dialog, there is a checkbox
saying Delete news message [5] days after being downloaded. Uncheck this
and redownload the tech-tips newsgroup. That should do the trick.

We don't recommend creating report descendents from a maintenance
standpoint, but it may be possible to do this. Off the top of my head, in
the Create override, start with adding ciEngineEndPage to the EventNotifies
inherited set.
You can create draw commands if you don't want to create components in the
report layout.
The easiest way to get alternate colors in a band is to toggle a TppShape's
color or visibility. You can also use the RBAddOn component se…You should be able to call Report.Reset (frees any cached pages) and then
call Report.Print. If that doesn't work, then you'll have to close the

Digital Metaphors…ReportBuilder 7.01 adds more support for keystrokes, including page up and

Install the latest Intellimouse driver and see if that helps.
